Chapter 687: Obliteration
Ling Yun got Paul and Chester to drive the two cars in from outside and started packing people into the cars.
Cao Tianlong found the keys to his garage as well. He opened it and drove a large luxury car out, placing Cao Junxiong, Cao Xingchang, and his mother into the car. “Grandpa, Dad, Mom, please bear with it…” he told them with tears flowing down his cheeks.
The other seven were stuffed into the two cars they came in. Paul and Chester each drove a car, while Cao Tianlong drove the car from his garage. Ling Yun didn’t take the car and followed them with Qinggong, protecting them all the way back to his lodging.
The Cao Family didn’t have much missing other than a few bottles of good red wine. The cameras and security systems were long destroyed. That was also why Ling Yun didn’t mask himself in this operation.
No one intercepted them along the way, allowing them to reach home safely.
“They might be your relatives, but they have been Embraced and should not be exposed to the sun. The best solution now is to let them stay in the basement for the time being.” Ling Yun discussed things with Cao Tianlong through telepathy once they were in the courtyard.
Cao Tianlong nodded silently. He understood the need.
The four of them took Cao Tianlong’s relatives to the few basements together.
“Can they only… drink blood?” Ling Yun asked Chester and Paul.
Paul and Chester nodded. “Yes, Honorable Boss. This is the natural instinct of the Blood Clan, just like how humans want to have food when they are hungry…”
Ling Yun was speechless. He looked at Cao Tianlong, his heart tearing with pain, and nodded bitterly.
Cao Xingchang and Cao Junxiong’s eyes were still vacant, as though their souls were taken away. They couldn’t recognize Cao Tianlong.
“Ling Yun, you have to find a way to save them. I only have these ten relatives left other than Shanshan!”
Cao Tianlong pulled at his own hair desperately.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely think of a way. However, the most important thing now is to fill them up…”
Ling Yun turned towards Paul and Chester. “Bring your bottles of blood here and let them have some of it…”
Paul and Chester exchanged distressed gazes. “But Honorable Boss, there isn’t a lot left. It will barely be enough for tonight with so many people…” Chester said.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you go hungry since you’re with me now. After tonight, I’ll be able to get as much fresh blood as you want as long as it’s not human blood!” Ling Yun frowned.
Chester and Paul rushed to the silver-gray car immediately to retrieve the bottles. This was the best news all night.
They fed the ten members of the Cao Family with Cao Tianlong’s help. Ling Yun then left Cao Tianlong to protect them while he brought the two descendants of the Blood Clan into the house.
“I’ll think of a solution…” Ling Yun said to Cao Tianlong before leaving him in the basement. Cao Tianlong was cautiously protecting his family.
Ling Yun sat on the sofa and started to contemplate.
There were three pressing matters on hand now.
The first was to solve the problem of the source of blood for the twelve members of the Blood Clan. This could be easily managed. Ling Yun could look for a large-scale slaughterhouse tomorrow and purchase about eighty to a hundred kilograms of fresh animal blood.
The second matter was finding a way to snap Cao Tianlong’s family, especially Cao Xingchang and Cao Junxiong, out of their trance state. He would then be able to communicate with them and gather information.
The last and most important matter was finding Cao Shanshan’s whereabouts. He had to rescue her as soon as possible. This was so that he didn’t need to worry about her safety when he made his move on the Chen Family.
“Evil Eye… Hypnosis… Awaken the mind…”
Ling Yun’s eyes suddenly sprang open with a start, and he cursed at himself. “F*ck, how could I have forgotten about such precious treasures!”
He was secretly anxious even though he appeared composed in front of Cao Tianlong. In fact, he was so anxious that he forgot about his treasures!
Wasn’t there the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone and the Clarity Talisman?
Ling Yun created more than a dozen of the Clarity Talismans after he came out of closed-door cultivation!
The Clarity Talisman, as its name suggested, could naturally clear a person’s mind. Not only could it treat dementia and madness, but it could also heal people that were in a vegetative state! That could be the ultimate solution to this!
It was hard to believe that the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone, the Clarity Talisman, and his Mystical Dragon Howl wouldn’t be able to break the hypnosis from the Evil Eye!
Ling Yun’s eyes lit up. He flew out of the house and into the basement.
Chen Jianwei realized that he couldn’t control the Cao Family members solely with The Embrace, perhaps because they allowed Cao Tianlong to flee. That was why he immediately hypnotized them with the Evil Eye after he leveled-up.
Ling Yun discussed his treatment plan with Cao Tianlong and asked him who he should start his treatment on.
“With my father. He is the current head of the household…” Cao Tianlong said after some thought.
Ling Yun knew just how tough this decision was.
Cao Tianlong’s father would be the first to be sacrificed if anything were to go wrong with Ling Yun’s treatment.
Cao Tianlong’s father would also be in immense pain if Ling Yun managed to clear his mind!
Cao Tianlong’s immediate family and branch family members were in the remaining ten members of his family. Cao Tianlong chose his father to undertake this pain and sacrifice. That action moved Ling Yun.
“The Cao Family won’t perish as long as you’re around. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best,” Ling Yun told Cao Tianlong before he started the treatment.
That made Cao Tianlong really nervous. Huge beads of perspiration dripped down his forehead as he came to Cao Xingchang, unable to make another sound.
Ling Yun squatted down and took out the Dragon Vein Sword. With a gentle gesture, he made a small incision on Cao Xingchang’s throat.
Ling Yun could see there wasn’t much blood spilling out of Cao Xingchang’s neck, and it had immediately started to heal. It didn’t heal as fast as Chester and Paul, but it was definitely healing.
Ling Yun took out the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone and placed a corner of it into that small wound.
He then observed Cao Xingchang’s gaze. It was starting to regain focus.
It was possible!
Ling Yun’s lip curled up and gave Cao Tianlong a confident smile. He stuck a Clarity Talisman on Cao Xingchang’s head and bellowed the incantation with the Mystical Dragon Howl!
Ling Yun’s voice was crisp and clear, stunning everyone around him. A green light appeared and burrowed itself into Cao Xingchang’s head!
Cao Xingchang’s body shook violently, and he opened his eyes, releasing brilliant light from them!
The opportunity must not be missed! It would never come again!
Ling Yun used telepathy and the Mystical Dragon Howl at the same time towards Cao Xingchang. “Wake up now!”
“Call out to him! He’s nearly back!” Ling Yun told Cao Tianlong immediately.
Cao Tianlong kneeled in front of Cao Xingchang, sobbing. “Dad, I’m Tianlong, I rescued you, Dad…”
The scene was devastating, depressing even Ling Yun. He glared at Chester and Paul. “Hmph! All because of your Blood Clan!” Ling Yun’s words of blame drilled into Chester and Paul’s brains.
Paul and Chester shuddered, not daring to look into Ling Yun’s eyes. They lowered their heads in fear.
How could the spell from Chen Jianwei’s Evil Eye not be broken with the combined power of the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone, the Clarity Talisman, and the Mystical Dragon Howl?
Not only that, the power of the blood oath within Cao Xingchang temporarily lost its power because of the Spirit Cultivation Cosmos Stone! He regained his mind and recognized Cao Tianlong immediately.
“Tianlong? Is it really you? Why are you back? Run!”
Cao Xingchang’s acupuncture point was sealed, and he couldn’t move. He saw his son kneeling in front of him howling, and his first thought wasn’t of himself but of his son.
“Dad, it’s me, it’s me, Tianlong! I’m back, and I rescued you. Don’t worry, we’re safe now!”
Cao Tianlong was elated to see that his father had really regained his mind. He flew to Cao Xingchang.
Ling Yun unsealed Cao Xingchang’s acupuncture point in a swift motion.
Cao Xingchang had his fill of fresh blood. Everything about him had returned to normal except for the fact that he was now a member of the Blood Clan.
Cao Xingchang didn’t stand up even though he regained his motor functions, nor did he look at the others. He only watched his son, Cao Tianlong, with a pair of slightly red eyes.
“Dad, w-what’s wrong?” Cao Tianlong asked, shivering from the look he was receiving.
